Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji ki Fateh!!! Sangat Ji bhaut bahut Dhanvad. I fell like being blessed by Guruji when i was reading your replies. I never realised i have so many Brothers and Sisters out their to help me out. I feel much more confident and educated now. But i still have doubts. Sorry I am Moorakh, so please bear with me. The Kacahera - It makes perfect sense in why we should use this undergarment. But do we need to still use the traditional ones. Can we use the ones like boxer short or their variants which are a bit different from the traditional. The Kada - I personally feel it as Guru's support in all the actions i do. So whenever i try to do something wrong, then kada in my right hand reminds me of my obligations to Guruji and the path i am supposed to follow. But correct me if i am wrong, Guruji asked the warrior sikhs to wear heavy big iron bangles. But today most of us are wearing the stainless steel ones with more tredy designs. Is it OK? The Kanga - This also makes sense as we keep hair and we should have kanga always with us. It is essential part of personal hygine. But what about shampoo, conditioners, hair oil etc. These comodities are also important for our hygine. The point i want to make here is that why only Kanga? What is the significance of having a Kanga so important? The Kesh - Yes they are Sikhi ki pehchaan. A Sikh is know by sporting hair on the body and wearing a Turban/Dastar. Also there are many spiritual explanations on advantages of keeping hair like preserving energy, link to god, stress busters etc. Why Guruji wanted all the Sikhs to sport full hair on the body? How exactly they help us? The Kirpan - As I understand that Guruji wanted us to carry a Kirpan to enbale us to protect ourselves and the needy. But present day Kirpans have more symbolic value rather than utilitarian value. If sophisticated pistols were avialble during guruji's time, were we carrying those? And as mentioned in one of the replies Nihang Bhai Balbir Singh emphaised carrying and using 5 shastars during the troubled times of 1984, how useful the symbolic kirpan would have been at that time? I know some of the questions if have asked are very silly and but they are genuine thoughts, answers to which i believe will strenghten my faith and make me a true son of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib ji... So please help me out...Shower your blessings on my poor soul... Anajan Sikh jane ke Bhul Chuk Maaf Karni...Te Sadbudhi layee Ardass karni...

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji ki Fateh!!! My Dear Sikh Sangat, There is a question lurking in my mind for quite some time. Please help this Maha Moorak to find an answer. Actually i have recently arrived in UK and many of my English friends have asked me questions about Sikhi. Like why we keep our hair? Why we wear a turban? Why we carry a kirpan? These questions have lead to me asking - what is the significance of 5 Kakars to a modern day sikh. Why we should always possess the following 5 kakars - Kanga - Kada - Kesh - Kachiara - Kirpan I think when Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji first declaraed the Khalsa Panth, he wanted to raise his follwers to a level of saints - cum- soliders. Thoes days Sikhs needs to fight battels and stay in jungels for days. And i can imagine how the 5 kakars will be useful to them in those times. But i dont understand their significance today. Rather every morning before leaving my home for office I make sure that i possess following things - Key ring - Wallet - Comapny ID/Access Card - Mobile Phone - Hadkerchief - Spectacles - Wrist Watch I think that if i have these 7 things with me then i can manage in any situation. Is that mean that my Mobile phone is more important to me than kirpan. Sangant Jee, i am in a confusion. Need your help and please show me the right direction. Help me understand the significance of 5 Kakars in Sikhi. Anajan Gur ka Sikh jane ke...Bhul Chuk Maaf Karni... Desparately seeking answers...Guru ke Sikh nu Raha Dikhaojee.....

Guru Maharaj is Great!!! This is a Miracle. And i have heard a similar miracle in Delhi as well. Also there many more true stories where Guruji's kirpa has blessed us all. All these experiences strenghtens our faith in our beloved Guru Maharaj. Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru....

SSA Sangat, Though i have not seen the clips of the movie but someone told me that it is a Comedy. We all need to do something, as we cant let our religious scriptures and identity being used as objects of fun. Sangat lets get oraginsed and launch a protest. Sangat in UK is planing something, please update me as i would like be a sevadar. Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Whaguru ji ki Fateh
